Deering was set to sea on April 4, 1919 in Bath, Maine. Was a five-mast schooner that was built by G.G. Deering Co. It was 255.1 feet long, 44.3 feet abeam, 25.3 feet adn weighed 1,879 net tons. It was on its way back from Rio, when they discovered it aground Diamond Shoals on the morning of January 31. The items that were salvaged were auctioned off on the beach.Carroll A. DeeringWhen they first came to the land on July 22, 1587. John Whites daughter was pregnant when they came over. Her baby was named Virginia, was the first child born in the Americas. A nervy group of Native Americans called " The Croatoans" had established a friendly relationship with the colonists. They all thought they were okay until George Howe was killed by a group of Native Americans that's when they had Governor White return to England and ask for help. White couldn't come back because they had a war with Spain. They traveled back to Roanoke Island three years after they had left. When they arrived no one was found on the island everyone was gone. The only thing that was left was two graves and the word "CROATOAN" carved into a gatepost.Roanoke IslandCroatoan
